Description

補助吸収性物品Auxiliary absorbent article
 本発明は、主に使い捨ておむつに装着される補助吸収性物品に関する。 The present invention relates to auxiliary absorbent articles that are mainly attached to disposable diapers.
 使い捨ておむつ(以下、単に、おむつという。)の内面側に重ねて使用される補助吸収性物品(インナーパッド)が知られている。インナーパッドは、その外面における前側及び後側の各端部付近に、インナーパッドをおむつの内面の所定位置に止めておくための止着テープが設けられている。止着テープは、おむつの内面シートである不織布と係合する、例えば面ファスナのオス側の部材で形成されている(例えば、特許文献1,2,3参照)。 Auxiliary absorbent articles (inner pads) that are used in layers on the inner surface of disposable diapers (hereinafter simply referred to as diapers) are known. The inner pad is provided with fastening tapes near the front and rear ends of the outer surface thereof for fixing the inner pad at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the diaper. The fastening tape is formed of, for example, a member on the male side of a hook-and-loop fastener that engages with the nonwoven fabric that is the inner sheet of the diaper (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

 インナーパッドが装着されたおむつがパンツ型の場合、着用者がトイレで排泄を行うときやインナーパッドを交換するとき、おむつを膝下あたりまで下げ、事後、おむつを元の着用位置まで引き上げる。このおむつを引き上げる動作の際に、インナーパッドの例えば後側の上端縁が臀部に触れながら引き上げられることで、インナーパッドの上端部が臀部側に曲げられて臀部との間に巻き込まれてめくれる。つまり、インナーパッドの上端部は、おむつの内面に向いているべき外面が臀部側に接する裏返しの状態となる。 When the diaper with the inner pad attached is a pants type, when the wearer excretes in the toilet or changes the inner pad, the diaper is lowered to below the knee, and after that, the diaper is pulled up to the original wearing position. When the diaper is pulled up, for example, the rear upper edge of the inner pad is pulled up while touching the buttocks, so that the upper end of the inner pad is bent toward the buttocks and rolled up between the buttocks. That is, the upper end portion of the inner pad is turned inside out so that the outer surface, which should face the inner surface of the diaper, contacts the buttocks side.
 そして、インナーパッドのめくれた上端部が臀部側に接触したままでおむつが引き上げられることで、臀部側に巻き込まれる範囲が広がってインナーパッドの止着テープがおむつの内面から剥がれ、インナーパッドの後側は部分的に表裏裏返しになった状態となり得る。 Then, the diaper is pulled up while the turned-up upper end of the inner pad is in contact with the buttocks side, so that the area where the diaper is caught on the buttocks side is expanded, the fixing tape of the inner pad is peeled off from the inner surface of the diaper, and the back of the inner pad is removed. The side can be partially turned inside out.
 このように、インナーパッドが部分的に裏返された状態では、インナーパッドの本来の吸収性能を十分に発揮させることができない。 In this way, when the inner pad is partially turned over, the original absorption performance of the inner pad cannot be fully exhibited.
 本発明は上記事情に鑑みなされたものであり、パンツ型の使い捨ておむつの着用の際に身体と接触しても、装着状態が変化するのを防止又は抑制することができる補助吸収性物品を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and provides an auxiliary absorbent article that can prevent or suppress changes in the wearing state of a pants-type disposable diaper even when it comes into contact with the wearer's body. intended to
 本発明は、トップシートと吸収体とバックシートとが積層され、パンツ型の使い捨ておむつの内面側に装着して使用される補助吸収性物品であって、長手方向の、少なくとも着用者の背側に対応する領域において、前記背側の端部から曲げに対する剛性が相対的に高くなる領域との境界線に、前記剛性が相対的に高い領域に設けられた、前記パンツ型の使い捨ておむつに止着される止着部材の端縁が一致するように配置されている、補助吸収性物品である。 The present invention is an auxiliary absorbent article in which a top sheet, an absorbent body, and a back sheet are laminated, and which is used by being worn on the inner surface side of a pants-type disposable diaper, wherein the auxiliary absorbent article is at least on the back side of the wearer in the longitudinal direction. In the region corresponding to the above, the pants-type disposable diaper provided in the region with relatively high rigidity on the boundary line from the end of the dorsal side to the region with relatively high rigidity against bending. The auxiliary absorbent article is arranged so that the edges of the fastening members to be worn are aligned.

<構成>
 図示のインナーパッド100は、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品の一実施形態である。インナーパッド100は、図1に示すように、パンツ型おむつ200の厚さ方向に重ねた状態で使用される。具体的には、インナーパッド100は、パンツ型おむつ200の、着用者300の肌に最も近い内面側のシート(トップシート210)に重ねて配置される。インナーパッド100は、例えば、尿取りパッドや軟便パッドとして適用することができる。
<Configuration>
The illustrated inner pad 100 is one embodiment of an auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention. The inner pad 100 is used in a state of being stacked in the thickness direction of the underpants-type diaper 200, as shown in FIG. Specifically, the inner pad 100 is placed over the inner sheet (top sheet 210 ) of the pants-type diaper 200 that is closest to the skin of the wearer 300 . The inner pad 100 can be applied as, for example, a urine absorption pad or a soft feces pad.
 インナーパッド100は、図2に示すように、長手方向Lの一方の側が着用者300の腹側に対応し、他方の側が着用者300の背側に対応する。インナーパッド100は、図3に示すように、トップシート11と吸収体13とバックシート12とが、これらの順で厚さ方向に積層されて形成されている。トップシート11は着用者300の肌に最も近い内面側のシートであり、バックシート12は着用者の肌から最も遠い外側のシートである。 As shown in FIG. 2 , one side of the inner pad 100 in the longitudinal direction L corresponds to the abdomen of the wearer 300 and the other side corresponds to the dorsal side of the wearer 300 . As shown in FIG. 3, the inner pad 100 is formed by laminating a top sheet 11, an absorbent body 13, and a back sheet 12 in this order in the thickness direction. The top sheet 11 is the inner sheet closest to the wearer's 300 skin, and the back sheet 12 is the outer sheet furthest from the wearer's skin.
 トップシート11と吸収体13、吸収体13とバックシート12は、それぞれ、ホットメルト等の接合剤によって少なくとも一部分同士が接合されて、インナーパッド100は一体とされている。 At least parts of the top sheet 11 and the absorbent body 13, and the absorbent body 13 and the back sheet 12 are bonded together by a bonding agent such as hot melt, so that the inner pad 100 is integrated.
 なお、インナーパッド100は、トップシート11と吸収体13との間にセカンドシートをさらに備えていても良い。トップシート11及びセカンドシートは親水性の不織布で形成され、バックシート12は疎水性のシートで形成されている。吸収体13は、トップシート11及びセカンドシートを通して移行した水分を吸収する。 In addition, the inner pad 100 may further include a second sheet between the top sheet 11 and the absorbent body 13 . The top sheet 11 and the second sheet are made of hydrophilic nonwoven fabric, and the back sheet 12 is made of a hydrophobic sheet. The absorbent body 13 absorbs moisture transferred through the top sheet 11 and the second sheet.
 トップシート11及びバックシート12は、図2に示すように、平面視で、吸収体13よりもひと回り大きく形成されていて、それぞれ、吸収体13の外周縁よりも外側に広がった周囲部分を有している。そして、トップシート11の周囲部分とバックシート12の周囲部分とはホットメルト等の接合剤で接合されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 are formed to be slightly larger than the absorbent body 13 in plan view, and each have a peripheral portion that spreads outward from the outer peripheral edge of the absorbent body 13. are doing. The peripheral portion of the top sheet 11 and the peripheral portion of the back sheet 12 are bonded with a bonding agent such as hot melt.
 したがって、周囲部分には、トップシート11とバックシート12とが接合されて吸収体13が設けられていない。なお、周囲部分のうち、図2に示したインナーパッド100の長手方向Lの腹側の部分を腹側端部21、長手方向Lの背側の部分を背側端部22という。 Therefore, the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 are joined together and the absorber 13 is not provided in the peripheral portion. Of the peripheral portions, the ventral portion in the longitudinal direction L of the inner pad 100 shown in FIG.
 インナーパッド100は、周囲部分よりも内側の領域(内側領域23)において、トップシート11とバックシート12との間に吸収体13が配置されている。 In the inner pad 100, the absorber 13 is arranged between the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 in a region (inner region 23) inside the surrounding portion.
 インナーパッド100のバックシート12には、図2に示すように、長手方向Lの腹側と背側とにそれぞれ止着テープ50が固定されている。止着テープ50は、インナーパッド100をパンツ型おむつ200に装着するものである。止着テープ50は、例えば面ファスナのフック部材で形成されている。止着テープ50のフック部材がトップシート210の不織布と係合することで、止着テープ50がトップシート210に接合されて、インナーパッド100はパンツ型おむつ200に装着される。 On the back sheet 12 of the inner pad 100, as shown in FIG. The fastening tape 50 attaches the inner pad 100 to the pants-type diaper 200 . The fastening tape 50 is formed of, for example, a hook member of a hook-and-loop fastener. The hook member of the fastening tape 50 is engaged with the nonwoven fabric of the top sheet 210 , so that the fastening tape 50 is joined to the top sheet 210 and the inner pad 100 is attached to the pants-type diaper 200 .
 なお、止着テープ50はトップシート210のどこにでも接合することができるため、パンツ型おむつ200の前後方向におけるインナーパッド100の装着位置を、着用者300の体格等に応じて調整することができる。 Since the fastening tape 50 can be attached anywhere on the top sheet 210, the mounting position of the inner pad 100 in the front-rear direction of the pants-type diaper 200 can be adjusted according to the physique of the wearer 300. .
 止着テープ50は、図2に示すように、トップシート11とバックシート12とでのみで形成された腹側端部21や背側端部22ではなく、トップシート11とバックシート12の間に吸収体13が配置されている内側領域23のバックシート12に固定されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the fastening tape 50 is provided between the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 instead of the ventral side edge 21 and the dorsal side edge 22 formed only by the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12. is fixed to the backsheet 12 in the inner region 23 in which the absorbent body 13 is arranged.
 しかも、止着テープ50は、長手方向Lにおける腹側端部21に近い側の端縁51が、腹側端部21と内側領域23との境界線L1に沿うように配置され、長手方向Lにおける背側端部22に近い側の端縁51が、背側端部22と内側領域23との境界線L1に沿うように配置されている。 Moreover, the fastening tape 50 is arranged such that the edge 51 on the side closer to the ventral end 21 in the longitudinal direction L is along the boundary line L1 between the ventral end 21 and the inner region 23, , the edge 51 on the side closer to the dorsal end 22 is arranged along the boundary line L1 between the dorsal end 22 and the inner region 23 .
 ここで、内側領域23は、トップシート11と吸収体13とバックシート12とで形成されているため、トップシート11とバックシート12とでのみで形成されている腹側端部21及び背側端部22に比べて、曲げに対する剛性が高い。つまり、内側領域23と腹側端部21、背側端部22との各境界線L1は、曲げに対する剛性が切り替わる境界線となっている。 Here, since the inner region 23 is formed by the top sheet 11, the absorbent body 13, and the back sheet 12, the ventral side end portion 21 and the dorsal side formed only by the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 are formed. Compared to the end portion 22, it has a higher rigidity against bending. That is, each boundary line L1 between the inner region 23 and the ventral end portion 21 and the dorsal end portion 22 is a boundary line where the rigidity against bending is switched.
 図4はパンツ型おむつ200に装着された状態のインナーパッド100を示す模式図、図5はパンツ型おむつ200の引き上げの際に、インナーパッド100の背側端部22の端縁22aが、着用者300の臀部310に触れながら引き上げられる様子を示す模式図。図6は図5に示す状態から、インナーパッド100の背側端部22が臀部310側にめくれた状態を示す模式図、図7は本発明が適用されないインナーパッド400において、吸収体13が配置されている内側領域23が臀部310側にめくれた状態を示す模式図である。 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the inner pad 100 attached to the pants-type diaper 200, and FIG. The schematic diagram which shows a mode that it is lifted up, touching the buttocks 310 of the person 300. FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the dorsal end 22 of the inner pad 100 is turned over toward the buttocks 310 from the state shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the inner region 23 that is being worn is turned over toward the buttocks 310 side.
 次に、本実施形態のインナーパッド100の作用について説明する。インナーパッド100は、図4に示すように、パンツ型おむつ200の内面側に重ねて装着された状態で使用される。 Next, the action of the inner pad 100 of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the inner pad 100 is used in a state of being superimposed on the inner surface of the underpants-type diaper 200 .
 インナーパッド100が装着されたパンツ型おむつ200の着用者300が、トイレで排泄を行う場合や使用済みのインナーパッド100を交換する場合、パンツ型おむつ200を膝下あたりまで下げ、事後、パンツ型おむつ200を着用位置まで引き上げる。 When the wearer 300 of the pants-type diaper 200 to which the inner pad 100 is attached is to excrete in the toilet or to replace the used inner pad 100, the pants-type diaper 200 is lowered to around the knee, and after that, the pants-type diaper 200 is lowered. 200 is pulled up to the wearing position.
 このパンツ型おむつ200の引き上げの際に、図5に示すように、インナーパッド100の背側端部22の端縁22aが、着用者300の臀部310に触れながら引き上げられる。これにより、図6に示すように、インナーパッド100の背側端部22が臀部310側に曲がって臀部310との間に巻き込まれて裏返しにめくれる。 When pulling up the pants-type diaper 200, the edge 22a of the back end 22 of the inner pad 100 is pulled up while touching the buttocks 310 of the wearer 300, as shown in FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the dorsal end 22 of the inner pad 100 bends toward the buttocks 310 and is caught between the buttocks 310 and turned inside out.
 臀部310側にめくれた背側端部22と臀部310とが接した状態で、そのままパンツ型おむつ200が引き上げられると、臀部310とめくれた背側端部22との間で生じる摩擦力により、背側端部22に連なる内側領域23も、臀部310側に巻き込まれてめくれ易くなる。 When the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up while the dorsal end 22 turned up toward the buttocks 310 and the buttocks 310 are in contact with each other, the frictional force generated between the buttocks 310 and the turned-up dorsal end 22 causes The inner region 23 that continues to the dorsal end 22 is also easily rolled up by being caught on the buttocks 310 side.
 しかし、本実施形態のインナーパッド100は、上述したように、背側端部22よりも剛性の高い内側領域23に固定された止着テープ50が、その端縁51が曲げに対する剛性の切り替わる境界線L1に一致するように配置されている。 However, in the inner pad 100 of the present embodiment, as described above, the fastening tape 50 fixed to the inner region 23 having higher rigidity than the dorsal end 22 has an edge 51 which is a boundary where the rigidity against bending is switched. It is arranged so as to match the line L1.
 これにより、臀部310側に曲がっている位置が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い背側端部22から相対的に高い内側領域23に移行する際に、境界線L1を境界にして曲げに対する剛性が高く切り替わると同時に、止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性と、止着テープ50とパンツ型おむつ200のトップシート210との接合力による曲げに対する剛性とが加わる。 As a result, when the position bent to the buttocks 310 side shifts from the dorsal end 22 with relatively low bending rigidity to the inner region 23 with relatively high bending rigidity, the boundary line L1 is used as a boundary for bending rigidity. is increased, the rigidity against bending of the fastening tape 50 itself and the rigidity against bending due to the joining force between the fastening tape 50 and the top sheet 210 of the pants-type diaper 200 are added.
 この結果、境界線L1を境にした内側領域23では、背側端部22に比べて、インナーパッド100の曲げに対する剛性が大幅に増大する。したがって、パンツ型おむつ200が着用位置まで引き上げられても、インナーパッド100は、図6に示すように、背側端部22だけがめくれた状態のままで、背側端部22が臀部310との間で滑りが生じて、臀部310側に曲がる位置が内側領域23にまで移行するのを防止又は抑制することができる。つまり、本実施形態のインナーパッド100は、パンツ型おむつ200における装着状態が変化するのを防止することができる。 As a result, in the inner region 23 bounded by the boundary line L1, compared to the dorsal end portion 22, the bending rigidity of the inner pad 100 is greatly increased. Therefore, even when the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up to the wearing position, the inner pad 100 remains in a state in which only the back end 22 is turned up as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent or suppress the movement of the position of bending toward the buttocks 310 side to the inner region 23 due to slippage between them. In other words, the inner pad 100 of the present embodiment can prevent the wearing state of the pants-type diaper 200 from changing.
 これに対して、本発明が適用されないインナーパッド400は、図7に示すように、内側領域23に固定された止着テープ50は、端縁51が、曲げに対する剛性が切り替わる境界線L1に一致しないで、内側領域23に存在している。 On the other hand, in the inner pad 400 to which the present invention is not applied, as shown in FIG. Instead, it exists in the inner region 23 .
 このインナーパッド400が装着されたパンツ型おむつ200では、背側端部22が臀部310側にめくれて背側端部22と臀部310とが接した状態で、パンツ型おむつ200が引き上げられると、背側端部22に連なる内側領域23は、境界線L1においては、吸収体13の存在だけが曲げに対する剛性を増大するに過ぎず、止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性や止着テープ50とトップシート210との接合力による曲げに対する剛性の増大がない。 In the pants-type diaper 200 to which the inner pad 400 is attached, when the back end 22 is turned over toward the buttocks 310 and the back end 22 and the buttocks 310 are in contact with each other, the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up. In the inner region 23 connected to the dorsal end 22, at the boundary line L1, only the presence of the absorbent body 13 increases the rigidity against bending. There is no increase in stiffness against bending due to the bonding force with the top sheet 210 .
 したがって、パンツ型おむつ200が引き上げられた勢いで、臀部310側に曲げられた位置が内側領域23にまで移行して臀部310側に曲がって裏返しにめくれる。そして、パンツ型おむつ200が引き上げられた勢いで、止着テープ50の設けられている部分にまで移行して、止着テープ50はトップシート210から剥離して、臀部310側に巻き込まれる。この結果、パンツ型おむつ200における装着状態が変化し、吸収体13の吸収性能を低下させる。 Therefore, with the force of the pull-up of the pants-type diaper 200, the bent position toward the buttocks 310 shifts to the inner region 23, bends toward the buttocks 310, and is turned inside out. Then, the pull-up force of the pants-type diaper 200 moves to the portion where the fastening tape 50 is provided, and the fastening tape 50 is peeled off from the top sheet 210 and rolled into the buttocks 310 side. As a result, the wearing state of the underpants-type diaper 200 is changed, and the absorption performance of the absorber 13 is lowered.
 本実施形態のインナーパッド100は、止着テープ50の端縁51を、剛性が低い領域から高い領域に切り替わる境界線L1に一致させて配置した構成により、境界線L1において曲げに対する剛性を大幅に増大させて、インナーパッド100の、パンツ型おむつ200への装着状態が変化するのを防止し、吸収体13の吸収性能が低下するのを防止することができる。 The inner pad 100 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the edge 51 of the fastening tape 50 is aligned with the boundary line L1 where the rigidity is changed from the low-rigidity region to the high-rigidity region. By increasing it, it is possible to prevent the state of the inner pad 100 attached to the pants-type diaper 200 from changing, and to prevent the absorption performance of the absorbent body 13 from deteriorating.
 上述したインナーパッド100の説明は、インナーパッド100の背側端部22を含む背側についてのみであったが、腹側端部21を含む腹側についても同様であり、腹側端部21よりも曲げに対する剛性の高い内側領域23に固定された止着テープ50の端縁51が、曲げに対する剛性の切り替わる境界線L1に沿って設けられている。 The above description of the inner pad 100 was only for the dorsal side including the dorsal end 22 of the inner pad 100, but the ventral side including the ventral end 21 is the same. An edge 51 of the fastening tape 50 fixed to the inner region 23 having the highest bending rigidity is provided along the boundary line L1 where the bending rigidity is switched.
 したがって、下腹部側に曲がった部分が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い腹側端部21から相対的に高い内側領域23に移行する際に、境界線L1を境界にして曲げに対する剛性が高く切り替わると同時に、止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性の増大と、止着テープ50によるパンツ型おむつ200のトップシート210との接合力による曲げに対する剛性の増大が加わることで、曲げに対する剛性を大幅に増大させることができる。 Therefore, when the portion bent toward the abdomen side transitions from the ventral end portion 21 with relatively low bending rigidity to the inner region 23 with relatively high bending rigidity, the bending rigidity is high with the boundary line L1 as the boundary. At the same time, the bending rigidity of the fastening tape 50 itself is increased, and the bonding force of the fastening tape 50 to the top sheet 210 of the pants-type diaper 200 increases the bending rigidity. can be increased to
 これにより、パンツ型おむつ200が着用位置まで引き上げられても、インナーパッド100は、図6に示すように、腹側端部21だけがめくれた状態のままで、下腹部との間で滑りが生じて、内側領域23が下腹部側に曲がるのを防止又は抑制することができ、パンツ型おむつ200における装着状態が変化するのを防止することができる。 As a result, even when the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up to the wearing position, the inner pad 100 remains in a state in which only the belly end 21 is turned up as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent or suppress the bending of the inner region 23 toward the lower abdomen side, thereby preventing the wearing state of the pants-type diaper 200 from changing.
 なお、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品は、着用者の臀部に対応する背側の領域について、上述した構成を有するものであればよく、着用者の腹側に対応する腹側の領域については、上述した構成を有するものでなくてもよい。 In the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention, the dorsal region corresponding to the wearer's buttocks may have the above-described configuration, and the ventral region corresponding to the wearer's ventral region may be , may not have the configuration described above.
 本実施形態のインナーパッド100は、止着テープ50の端縁51を、吸収体13が配置されている内側領域23と配置されていない背側端部22、腹側端部21との境界線L1に一致させて止着テープ50を設けたものであるが、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品は、この実施形態に限定されるものではない。 In the inner pad 100 of this embodiment, the edge 51 of the fastening tape 50 is a boundary line between the inner region 23 where the absorbent body 13 is arranged and the dorsal end 22 and ventral end 21 where the absorbent body 13 is not arranged. Although the fastening tape 50 is provided in line with L1, the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
 すなわち、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品は、長手方向における、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域から高い領域に切り替わる境界線に、相対的に曲げに対する剛性が高い側に設けられた止着部材の端縁が一致するように配置されていればよい。 That is, in the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention, the fastening member is provided on the side with relatively high bending rigidity at the boundary line where the region with relatively low bending rigidity switches to the high bending rigidity region in the longitudinal direction. are arranged so that their edges coincide with each other.
 つまり、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品は、補助吸収性物品の本体(止着テープ50を除いた、トップシート11,吸収体13及びバックシート12からなる吸収物品として機能する部分)の曲げに対する剛性が増大する位置(境界線L1)に、止着テープ50によって曲げに対する剛性が増大(止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性の増大及び止着テープ50がパンツ型おむつ200のトップシート210に接合していることによる曲げに対する剛性の増大)する位置を一致させた構成により、境界線L1において曲げに対する剛性を大幅に増大させるものであればよい。 That is, the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention is resistant to bending of the main body of the auxiliary absorbent article (the portion that functions as an absorbent article consisting of the top sheet 11, the absorbent body 13, and the back sheet 12, excluding the fastening tape 50). At the position where the rigidity is increased (boundary line L1), the fastening tape 50 increases the rigidity against bending (increases the rigidity against bending of the fastening tape 50 itself and the fastening tape 50 is joined to the top sheet 210 of the pants-type diaper 200). (Increased rigidity against bending due to the presence of the flexure) It is sufficient that the rigidity against bending is greatly increased at the boundary line L1 by a configuration in which the positions of the two parts are aligned with each other.
(変形例1)
 図8は、実施形態の変形例の一つ(変形例1)であるインナーパッド500の背側端部22を含む一部を示す、図3相当の断面図である。図示のインナーパッド500は、吸収体13がインナーパッド500の厚さ方向において、第1吸収体13cと第2吸収体13dとの2つの層が積層して形成されたものである。
(Modification 1)
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 3 showing a part including the dorsal end 22 of an inner pad 500 that is one of the modifications (Modification 1) of the embodiment. In the illustrated inner pad 500, the absorber 13 is formed by laminating two layers of a first absorber 13c and a second absorber 13d in the thickness direction of the inner pad 500. As shown in FIG.
 第1吸収体13cは、第2吸収体13dよりも長手方向Lにおいて長く形成され、背側端部22との境界線L1よりも内側で隣接する領域では第1吸収体13cのみが配置され、境界線L1よりも内側の境界線L2よりも内側の領域において、第1吸収体13c及び第2吸収体13dの2層が配置されている。 The first absorbent body 13c is formed longer than the second absorbent body 13d in the longitudinal direction L, and only the first absorbent body 13c is arranged in the region adjacent to the back end 22 inside the boundary line L1, Two layers of the first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d are arranged in the area inside the boundary line L2 inside the boundary line L1.
 第1吸収体13cと第2吸収体13dとは、同一の組成であってもよいし、異なる組成であってもよい。また、第1吸収体13cと第2吸収体13dとは、同一の厚さであってもよいし、異なる厚さであってもよい。 The first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d may have the same composition or may have different compositions. Further, the first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d may have the same thickness, or may have different thicknesses.
 また、インナーパッド500は、止着テープ50が、第1吸収体13c及び第2吸収体13dの2層が配置されている2層領域25に設けられ、かつ、背側端部22側の端縁51が、第1吸収体13cのみが配置された領域と2層領域25との境界線L2に一致するように配置されている。 In the inner pad 500, the fastening tape 50 is provided in the two-layer region 25 where the two layers of the first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d are arranged, and the end on the dorsal end portion 22 side is provided. The edge 51 is arranged so as to coincide with the boundary line L2 between the area where only the first absorbent body 13c is arranged and the two-layer area 25. As shown in FIG.
 ここで、境界線L2は、長手方向Lにおける、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域24から高い領域(2層領域25)に切り替わる境界線である。 Here, the boundary line L2 is a boundary line in the longitudinal direction L where the area 24 with relatively low bending rigidity switches to the area with high bending rigidity (two-layer area 25).
 このように構成された変形例1のインナーパッド500は、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に高い領域25に固定された止着テープ50の端縁51が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域24から高い領域25に切り替わる境界線L2に一致するように配置されている。 In the inner pad 500 of Modification 1 configured in this manner, the edge 51 of the fastening tape 50 fixed to the region 25 with relatively high bending rigidity extends from the region 24 with relatively low bending rigidity. It is arranged so as to match the boundary line L2 where it switches to the high area 25 .
 これにより、臀部310側に曲げられた位置が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域24から高い領域25に移行する際に、境界線L2を境界にして曲げに対する剛性が高く切り替わると同時に、止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性と、止着テープ50とパンツ型おむつ200のトップシート210との接合力による剛性とが加わる。 As a result, when the position bent toward the buttocks 310 shifts from the region 24 with relatively low bending rigidity to the region 25 with high bending rigidity, the bending rigidity is switched to high along the boundary line L2. The rigidity against bending of the clothing tape 50 itself and the rigidity due to the joining force between the fastening tape 50 and the top sheet 210 of the pants-type diaper 200 are added.
 この結果、境界線L2より長手方向Lの中心側の領域25では、長手方向Lの端部側の領域24に比べて、インナーパッド500の曲げに対する剛性が大幅に増大する。したがって、パンツ型おむつ200が着用位置まで引き上げられても、インナーパッド500は、領域24だけがめくれた状態のままで、領域25が臀部310側にめくれるのを防止又は抑制することができ、パンツ型おむつ200における装着状態が変化するのを防止することができる。 As a result, in the region 25 on the center side in the longitudinal direction L of the boundary line L2, compared to the region 24 on the end side in the longitudinal direction L, the bending rigidity of the inner pad 500 is greatly increased. Therefore, even if the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up to the wearing position, the inner pad 500 can prevent or suppress the region 25 from being turned up toward the buttocks 310 while only the region 24 is turned up. It is possible to prevent the worn state of the type diaper 200 from changing.
 変形例1は、2層の吸収体のうち、長い方の第1吸収体13cがトップシート11に近い側に配置され、短い方の第2吸収体13dがバックシート12に近い側に配置された構成であるが、長い方の第1吸収体13cがバックシート12に近い側に配置され、短い方の第2吸収体13dがトップシート11に近い側に配置された構成であってもよい。 In Modification 1, of the two layers of absorbent bodies, the longer first absorbent body 13c is arranged on the side closer to the top sheet 11, and the shorter second absorbent body 13d is arranged on the side closer to the back sheet 12. However, the longer first absorbent core 13c may be arranged closer to the back sheet 12, and the shorter second absorbent core 13d may be arranged closer to the top sheet 11. .
 ただし、長い方の第1吸収体13cがトップシート11に近い側に配置されたインナーパッドの方が、境界線L2において曲げに対する剛性差が大きくなるため、本発明の補助吸収性物品としては、より好ましい。 However, the inner pad in which the longer first absorbent body 13c is arranged on the side closer to the top sheet 11 has a greater difference in rigidity against bending at the boundary line L2. more preferred.
 変形例1は、吸収体13が、長さの異なる第1吸収体13c及び第2吸収体13dの2層で構成されたものであるが、吸収体13が3層以上で構成されたものであっても、同様に適用可能である。 In Modification 1, the absorbent body 13 is composed of two layers of a first absorbent body 13c and a second absorbent body 13d having different lengths, but the absorbent body 13 is composed of three or more layers. Even if there is, it is equally applicable.
(変形例2)
 図9は、実施形態の変形例の他の一つ(変形例2)であるインナーパッド600の背側端部22を含む一部を示す、図3相当の断面図である。図示のインナーパッド600は、吸収体13がインナーパッド600の厚さ方向においては1層で形成されているが、長手方向Lにおいて、目付量が相対的に小さい部分(低目付部13g)と大きい部分(高目付部13h)とに区分けされている。
(Modification 2)
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 3 showing a part including the dorsal end 22 of an inner pad 600 that is another modification (modification 2) of the embodiment. In the illustrated inner pad 600, the absorber 13 is formed of a single layer in the thickness direction of the inner pad 600, but in the longitudinal direction L, the area having a relatively small basis weight (low area 13g) is large. portion (high basis weight portion 13h).
 具体的には、吸収体13のうち、長手方向Lの背側端部22に近い端部寄りの部分に低目付部13gが形成され、低目付部13gよりも長手方向Lの中心側の領域に高目付部13hが形成されている。 Specifically, a low basis weight portion 13g is formed in a portion of the absorbent body 13 near the end portion near the dorsal end portion 22 in the longitudinal direction L, and a region closer to the center in the longitudinal direction L than the low basis weight portion 13g. A high basis weight portion 13h is formed in the .
 なお、低目付部13gの吸収体の材料と高目付部13hの吸収体の材料とは、同一であってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。 Note that the material of the absorbent of the low basis weight portion 13g and the material of the absorbent body of the high basis weight portion 13h may be the same or different.
 また、インナーパッド600は、止着テープ50が、高目付部13hの領域に設けられ、かつ、背側端部22側の端縁51が、低目付部13gと高目付部13hとの境界線L3に一致するように配置されている。 In the inner pad 600, the fixing tape 50 is provided in the region of the high basis weight portion 13h, and the edge 51 on the side of the back end portion 22 is the boundary line between the low basis weight portion 13g and the high basis weight portion 13h. It is arranged to coincide with L3.
 ここで、高目付部13hは低目付部13gに比べて目付量が多いため、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に高い。したがって、低目付部13gと高目付部13hとを長手方向Lにおいて区分けした境界線L3は、曲げに対する剛性が切り替わる境界線となる。 Here, since the high basis weight portion 13h has a larger basis weight than the low basis weight portion 13g, the rigidity against bending is relatively high. Therefore, a boundary line L3 dividing the low basis weight portion 13g and the high basis weight portion 13h in the longitudinal direction L serves as a boundary line where the rigidity against bending is switched.
 このように構成された変形例2のインナーパッド600は、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に高い領域27に固定された止着テープ50の端縁51が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域26から高い領域27に切り替わる境界線L3に一致するように配置されている。 In the inner pad 600 of Modification 2 configured in this way, the edge 51 of the fastening tape 50 fixed to the region 27 with relatively high bending rigidity extends from the region 26 with relatively low bending rigidity. It is arranged so as to coincide with the boundary line L3 where it switches to the high area 27 .
 これにより、臀部310側に曲げられた位置が、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に低い領域26から高い領域27に移行する際に、境界線L3を境界にして曲げに対する剛性が高く切り替わると同時に、止着テープ50自体の曲げに対する剛性と、止着テープ50とパンツ型おむつ200のトップシート210との接合力による曲げに対する剛性とが加わる。 As a result, when the position bent toward the buttocks 310 shifts from the area 26 with relatively low bending rigidity to the area 27 with high bending rigidity, the bending rigidity is switched to high along the boundary line L3. The rigidity against bending of the clothing tape 50 itself and the rigidity against bending due to the joining force between the fastening tape 50 and the top sheet 210 of the pants-type diaper 200 are added.
 この結果、境界線L3を境にした領域27では、領域26に比べて、インナーパッド600の曲げに対する剛性が大幅に増大する。したがって、パンツ型おむつ200が着用位置まで引き上げられても、インナーパッド600は、領域26だけがめくれた状態のままで、領域27が臀部310側にめくれるのを防止又は抑制することができ、パンツ型おむつ200における装着状態が変化するのを防止することができる。 As a result, the bending rigidity of the inner pad 600 is significantly increased in the region 27 bordering on the boundary line L3 compared to the region 26 . Therefore, even if the pants-type diaper 200 is pulled up to the wearing position, the inner pad 600 can prevent or suppress the region 27 from being turned up toward the buttocks 310 while only the region 26 is turned up. It is possible to prevent the worn state of the type diaper 200 from changing.
 なお、上述した実施形態及び各変形例において、曲げに対する剛性が相対的に高い領域(部分)と相対的に低い領域(部分)との、曲げに対する剛性の差異としては、一例として、相対的に高い方の曲げに対する剛性が、相対的に低い方の曲げに対する剛性の1.2倍以上であることが好ましい。ただし、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品は、この剛性の差異のものに限定されるものではない。 In the above-described embodiment and modifications, the difference in bending rigidity between a region (portion) with relatively high bending rigidity and a region (portion) with relatively low bending rigidity is, for example, relatively Preferably, the higher bending stiffness is at least 1.2 times the lower bending stiffness. However, the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention is not limited to this difference in rigidity.
 ここで、変形例1に示した2層の吸収体13c,13dを有するインナーパッド500を例にして、上述した曲げに対する剛性の計測方法の一例を、下記に説明する。 Here, an example of the method for measuring the rigidity against bending described above will be described below, taking the inner pad 500 having the two layers of absorbers 13c and 13d shown in Modification 1 as an example.
 曲げに対する剛性の計測方法は、下記のねじり試験機を用いて、下記の試験条件により、インナーパッド500の長手方向Lの端部に外力を掛けて、インナーパッド500が所定の角度に曲げられたときのインナーパッド500に作用する応力を計測して、曲げられた任意の角度に対する計測された応力の比の値(下記表1のB値)により、曲げに対する剛性の評価を行った。したがって、評価としては、比の値(B値)が大きくなるにしたがって、曲げに対する剛性が高い。 The bending rigidity was measured by applying an external force to the end of the inner pad 500 in the longitudinal direction L under the following test conditions using the following torsion tester, and bending the inner pad 500 at a predetermined angle. The stress acting on the inner pad 500 at this time was measured, and the stiffness against bending was evaluated based on the ratio of the measured stress to an arbitrary bending angle (value B in Table 1 below). Therefore, as an evaluation, the higher the ratio value (B value), the higher the rigidity against bending.

 表1において、「上層のみ」は変形例1における第1吸収体13cのみが存在する領域24であり、「上下層現行」は変形例1における第1吸収体13c及び第2吸収体13dが存在する領域25である。評価の結果、第1吸収体13cのみが存在する領域24でのB値の平均値11.4であり、第1吸収体13c及び第2吸収体13dが存在する領域25でのB値の平均値13.7であった。 In Table 1, "upper layer only" is the region 24 where only the first absorbent body 13c in Modification 1 exists, and "upper and lower layer current" is the region 24 where the first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d in Modification 1 exist. This is the area 25 where the As a result of the evaluation, the average B value in the region 24 where only the first absorbent body 13c exists is 11.4, and the average B value in the region 25 where the first absorbent body 13c and the second absorbent body 13d exist. The value was 13.7.
 この評価によれば、領域25でのB値(平均値)は領域24でのB値(平均値)の1.2018[倍]であった。したがって、1.2[倍]以上の曲げに対する剛性差(比)を有するインナーパッド500では、領域25が臀部310側に巻き込まれない、と評価することができる。 According to this evaluation, the B value (average value) in region 25 was 1.2018 [times] the B value (average value) in region 24. Therefore, it can be evaluated that in the inner pad 500 having a rigidity difference (ratio) with respect to bending of 1.2 [times] or more, the region 25 is not caught on the buttocks 310 side.
 なお、上述した剛性差の評価は一例であり、本発明に係る補助吸収性物品においては、剛性差として上記評価で評価したもの限定されるものではなく、また、剛性差(比)としても、1.2[倍]以上に限定されるものではない。 The evaluation of the stiffness difference described above is an example, and in the auxiliary absorbent article according to the present invention, the stiffness difference is not limited to the one evaluated in the above evaluation. It is not limited to 1.2 [times] or more.
